The House of Mouse has been delighting PlayStation gamers with a range of captivating titles, from those crafted specifically for the PS5 to PS4 games that leverage the power of the PS5 through backwards compatibility. Whether you're gaming on a PS4 or a PS5, the magic of Disney games is as enchanting as any Disney movie or show you might enjoy.
With Disney's expansive portfolio now encompassing Marvel, Star Wars, and other renowned franchises, the variety of games under the Disney umbrella has expanded significantly. Below, we highlight seven standout Disney (and Disney-related) games that you can dive into on your PS5. For those eager to venture beyond Disney, don't miss our comprehensive list of the best PS5 games available.
Here are the top Disney games you can enjoy on your PS5:
Disney Dreamlight Valley
Disney Dreamlight Valley offers a heartwarming life simulation experience perfect for Disney enthusiasts who adore games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. In this game, you step into the shoes of a custom avatar tasked with restoring the magical land of Dreamlight Valley, which has been devastated by the Forgetting—a mysterious event that has caused Disney characters to lose their memories and scatter. Rebuilding the valley involves hard work and resource gathering, but the joy of befriending both heroes and villains from the Disney universe makes it a delightful journey, ideal for family gaming sessions on the couch.
Kingdom Hearts 3
Originally launched on the PS4, Kingdom Hearts 3 shines even brighter on the PS5 thanks to enhanced graphics provided by Square Enix. The game continues Sora's epic journey alongside Donald and Goofy as they strive to restore his Power of Waking. Alongside their adventures, Riku and King Mickey search for lost friends, while Kairi and Lea train to wield Keyblades in anticipation of the final showdown with Master Xehanort. New gameplay mechanics like Attraction Flow and Athletic Flow, coupled with immersive worlds based on beloved Disney films such as Toy Story and Frozen, elevate the experience. The Re:Mind expansion further enriches the narrative and challenges players to confront powerful foes.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a recipient of a Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media, stands out as one of the finest Star Wars games ever crafted. Set five years after Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, you follow Jedi Knight Cal Kestis as he battles the Galactic Empire while seeking refuge. The game allows for deep customization of Cal, introduces a new lightsaber stance reminiscent of Kylo Ren's, and features expansive levels filled with diverse NPCs, ensuring an immersive Star Wars experience complemented by an exceptional soundtrack.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
Despite Sony's exclusive hold on Spider-Man, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games earns its place on this list. This PS5-exclusive title follows Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they juggle their personal lives with their superhero responsibilities amid new threats like Kraven the Hunter and the menacing Venom symbiote. The game builds upon its predecessors with innovative web-based gadgets and unique Spidey suits that cater to the distinct play styles of both heroes. Its immense popularity led to 2.5 million copies sold in the first 24 hours and even a promotion on Wheaties cereal boxes, cementing its status as the ultimate Spider-Man gaming experience.
Disney Speedstorm
For racing enthusiasts, Disney Speedstorm from Gameloft Barcelona offers a thrilling experience akin to Mario Kart, but with a Disney twist. This free-to-play PS5 title allows you to race against a vast array of Disney characters on tracks inspired by their iconic worlds, from Mickey and Friends to Pirates of the Caribbean. Each racer is supported by minor characters as Crew Members to enhance their performance. While the game's microtransactions may remind players of gacha mechanics, the sheer joy of racing as characters like Mulan or Elsa against Mickey Mouse is undeniable.
Gargoyles Remastered
Gargoyles Remastered revives the classic 16-bit Sega Genesis game in a 2D side-scrolling platformer format. As Goliath, you navigate through the epic tale of the Gargoyles' battle against the Eye of Odin, spanning from Viking invasions at Castle Wyvern to their awakening in modern-day Manhattan. Players can switch between the updated art style reminiscent of the beloved animated series and the original pixelated graphics, accompanied by a dynamic soundtrack that adjusts based on the chosen mode. The rewind feature enhances the gameplay, making it a nostalgic yet fresh experience.
Disney Classic Games Collection
The Disney Classic Games Collection brings nostalgia to modern consoles, courtesy of Digital Eclipse and Nighthawk Interactive. This remastered compilation builds on the 2019 release, featuring updated versions of Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Jungle Book across various platforms. Enhanced with new features like an interactive museum, rewind functionality, and an expanded soundtrack, it offers a comprehensive retro gaming experience. Owners of the 2019 bundle can also access additional content, including the SNES version of Aladdin and versions of The Jungle Book, for a modest fee.
